Group-cluster merging and the formation of starburst galaxies [PDF]
, 1998 A significant fraction of clusters of galaxies are observed to have substructure, which implies that merging between clusters and subclusters is a rather common physical process of cluster formation. It still remains unclear how cluster merging affects

Post-starburst Galaxies in the Centers of Intermediate-redshift Clusters
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Abstract We present results from MUSE spatially resolved spectroscopy of 21 post-starburst galaxies in the centers of eight clusters from z ∼ 0.3 to z ∼ 0.4. We measure spatially resolved star formation histories (SFHs), the time since quenching (t Q ), and the fraction of stellar

DESI Survey Validation Spectra Reveal an Increasing Fraction of Recently Quenched Galaxies at z ∼ 1
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We utilize ∼17,000 bright luminous red galaxies (LRGs) from the novel Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Survey Validation spectroscopic sample, leveraging its deep (∼2.5 hr galaxy ^−1 exposure time) spectra to characterize the contribution of recently

Halpha-Derived Star-Formation Rates For Three z ~ 0.75 EDisCS Galaxy Clusters [PDF]
, 2005 We present Halpha-derived star-formation rates (SFRs) for three z ~ 0.75 galaxy clusters. Our 1 sigma flux limit corresponds to a star-formation rate of 0.10-0.24 solar mass per year, and our minimum reliable Halpha + [N II] rest-frame equivalent width ...

Fading AGNs in Poststarburst Galaxies
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Abstract The role of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in quenching galaxies and driving the evolution from star forming to quiescence remains a key question in galaxy evolution. We present evidence from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO survey for fading AGN activity in 6/93 poststarburst galaxies. These six galaxies show extended emission

, 2010 We have used the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrograph (LRIS) on the W.M. Keck I telescope to obtain spatially resolved spectroscopy of a small sample of six post-starburst and three dusty-starburst galaxies in the rich cluster CL0016+16 at z=0.55.

Post‐starburst galaxies and the transformation of blue into red galaxies [PDF]
Astronomische Nachrichten, 2009 AbstractWe present deep single‐dish radio observations of a sample of nearby post‐starburst galaxies (0.05 < z < 0.1). About 50% of these post‐starburst galaxies are detected at 21 cm, with HI masses of ∼109 M⊙, up to ∼1010 M⊙. These post‐starburst galaxies are as gas‐rich as spiral galaxies with comparable luminosities. There appears to exist no

Excess Of Post-Starburst Galaxies In Distant Galaxy Clusters
, 2017 I present a study on the impact of environment on galaxy evolution in distant galaxy clusters between redshifts 0.5 and 1.0. We find candidate galaxy clusters by applying a friends-of-friends algorithm to the deep photometric data of the UKIDSS Ultra-Deep Survey. Through studying the stellar mass functions, we reveal a strong excess of low-mass rapidly-
